As Iran begin to mark the first anniversary of Qasem Soleimani’s assassination in a US strike, the Islamic Republic’s judiciary chief on Friday warned that top general’s killers will “not be safe on Earth”.
Ebrahim Raisi, speaking at an event in Tehran to pay tribute to Soleimani, said not even US President Donald Trump, who ordered the strike, was “immune from justice”.
Soleimani was killed in a US drone strike at Baghdad airport on January 3, ratcheting up tensions between decades-old arch-foes the United States and Iran.
“They will witness a severe revenge. What has come so far has only been glimpses” of it, Raisi told the gathering at Tehran University.
“Do not presume that someone, as the president of America, who appeared as a murderer or ordered a murder, may be immune from justice being carried out. Never,” he said.
“Those who had a role in this in this assassination and crime will not be safe on Earth.”
The event was attended by Iranian officials, and speakers including representatives from allied regional countries and forces, namely Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, and Yemen.
A separate event is expected to be held in the coming days in Kerman, Soleimani’s hometown, where he is buried.
Soleimani headed the foreign operations arm of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps known as the Quds force.
Previously, top Iranian authorities, including supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, had said that all those involved in his killing would face retribution.
Days after Soleimani’s killing, Iran launched a volley of missiles at Iraqi bases housing US and other coalition troops, with Trump refraining from any further military response.
The Iranian leadership has called the strikes a “slap” and vowed that “severe revenge” awaits.
Soleimani’s successor, Esmail Qaani, warned during Friday’s event that it may come from anywhere.
“It’s even possible that there are people inside your home (the United States) that will respond to your crime,” he said.
Since 2018, tensions have soared between Washington and Tehran, when Trump unilaterally withdrew the US from the Iran nuclear deal and reimposed crippling sanctions.
The two sides have twice come to the brink of war since June 2019, especially following the killing of Soleimani.
Lazy and uninspiring leadership from the government worsened Nigeria’s woes in 2020, former vice-president, Atiku Abubakar said. Atiku made this known in his New Year message that was shared on […]
